USA: Several people are believed to have died after a fire broke out at an immigrant detention facility in the Mexican city of Juarez, near the US border.

The fire broke out at a Mexican National Migration Institute (INM) facility near the Stanton-Lerdo International Bridge, which connects Juarez to El Paso, Texas.

According to the local newspaper Excelsior, the death toll could range between 25 and 35 people, with up to 100 people injured due to smoke inhalation and other hazards.

According to media reports, the disaster may have begun with an attempt to flee by a group of Venezuelan detainees who had recently been placed at the facility. According to El Diario, the fire started in the men's section of the centre. It wasn't clear whether it was set on purpose or by accident.
